Hi Ike
whats really interesting about this photo are the puffs of red smoke. I think when we watch fireworks, we don't see that smoke like we do here in the close-up.
even at 1/4 of a second, its long enough to have that nice visual effect.
Cheers

Hello Ike,
very beautiful shot of fireworks. An excellent framing with great POV. Fantastic photo job with perfect result like usually. I wish to everyone to live in peace, all over the world. Thanks for sharing. Like it a lot. Wonderful picture.
All the best,

Hello Ike,
great the definite explosion of the fierwork with its close up view and the tight frame,to make the scene so beautiful,as taking place during the 64th Independence day of the country.The quality of the image is excellent.

I just love this!
It explodes from the screen and we can almost see movement as the white streams head towards the corners, leaving behind the dense red smoke!It is a fine symbol of the joy of festival.

Congratulations with the 64th Independence of Israel, I know of the first years of your country with the English soldiers in the area.
Firework makes you better with a tripod and 5seconds exposure time Ike, but I like your picture lovely with the colors.
Very well done, TFS.

Hi Ike.
Congratulations on the celebration and my wishes for peace and understanding be the common denominator.
The image is wonderful explosion of colors and you captured their most magnificent moment, very difficult to photograph fireworks, so my sincere congratulations on a job so splendid.
I love it.
Have a nice day.
All the best.
Luis.

Hi Ike,
with this beautiful photo of the fireworks you celebrate the 64th Anniversary of the State of Israel, but also you should celebrate your fourth Anniversary on TE.
Congratulations!
This photo and both complementary ones in the WS are not an easy work, but you did it very well, they are a real explosion of light and of colors.
Well done.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Ike, my congratulations on 64 years of independence and my desire to be many more. I like this interesting explosion of light and color. Very well composed and performed with technical and quality. Very good and beautiful work, congratulations my friend. Tfs.

Hi Ike,it's a pic that say nothing about the place but it's very very nice,i like your class to take these fireworks,always difficult a perfect result like this,great WS too.Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Happy birthday to your country and happy TE birthday to YOU! It's you're 4th right? What fun we've had. And hopefully there'll be many more years to come. You took a great photo, difficult to make tehnically, but really excellent in terms of colour and exposition. I like how the firework takes up the entire screen.

Ciao dear Ike,
what could be more suggestive of a fireworks to celebrate an anniversary? It's always a great emotion to capture the decisive moment of a firework, and here you have captured it perfectly, getting a beautiful play of light and color. BRAVO!
Ciao, have a nice Friday!

my city was founded in 1948 too.
very beautiful detail of these fireworks, I tried to take shots like this but I ever got weak results, maybe it will be better with my new camera,haha.
very nice the colors and lines, good sharpness and sense of moment.

Not always an easy thing to capture, fireworks can be quite challenging but you've managed to do so with clarity so as create a very nice image. I like the fact that it's a tight composition, it really fills the frame in every direction and has that ever bold red color, but not overpowering. Great exposure to grab all of the details. You obviously have other things of more importance happening at this point in time, but I hope that TE helps you escape from that for at least a little bit. Be well Ike!
